[Kenwood] Value of a TS-990 and a TS-2000x?

[K3AC at aol.com]

Jim,
 
The going price for TS-990's seem to be in the $4500-5000 range, depending  
on age/condition. The unfortunate thing is that you did not retain the 
factory  shipping cartons/inserts, which makes shipping such a large, heavy 
radio by  UPS/FedEx very risky, and likely to be damaged (which is why they warn 
you in  the 990 docs to retain all shipping materials in case it has to be 
returned for  service (or re-sold).  If it were me, I'd try to sell it 
locally as FedEx  and UPS, in my experience,  are unlikely to honor any shipping  
damage insurance claims if you do not ship in factory cartons. The 990 is a 
 current model so both Kenwood CA and VA Service Centers should be 
providing  service and parts support, but I do not believe they can provide 
replacement  shipping cartons/foam inserts since these only come with the radio from 
the  factory. 
 
73,
Bob, K3AC

I have  both of these fine transceivers and I have never done anything 
more than  unpack them.

What would be a fair selling price to ask for each?   I do not have the 
original boxes.

All are in as-new  condition.

Thanks in advance and 73 de Jim -  AD6CW
